    Shockingly, it may not be advisable to disrupt a large number of people and their ability to live. This may result in a large number of people unable to locate equivalent employment/compensation. Then you have a base of people with idle time, resentment for the administration, and nothing left to lose.

      Several of my own coworkers :/ We’ve got less than a month till shutdown/furlough deadline too, its so fucked.

      People smarter, more productive, and more important than me, are going to lose their jobs for the sole fact that I have been employed for 3+ years as a fed, and they haven’t.

        And many of them will seek employment elsewhere in the world, and that knowledge will be lost to us forever. Good stuff.
